Herb-Garlic Shredded Chicken with Sweet Potatoes
Enjoy a comforting plate of tender, herb-infused shredded chicken paired with roasted sweet potatoes.

INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Sweet Potato
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wash and prick the sweet potato with a fork.
Drizzle the sweet potato with 1 tsp olive oil, sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper, and place it on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves (removed from sprigs), and lemon juice.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the seasoned chicken, and sear for 2 minutes on each side. Pour the herb-garlic mixture over the chicken and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks.
Plate a portion of the roasted sweet potato alongside a generous serving of shredded herb-garlic chicken.
Serve immediately and enjoy this wholesome meal that beautifully balances savory herbs with the natural sweetness of the potato.
